A Hidden Russian Hand in Hungary’s Election? Actually, It’s Quite Open.
Why it matters: The election outcome could solidify Hungary's alignment with Russia, impacting EU unity on Ukraine sanctions.
- Prime Minister Viktor Orban has centered his election campaign on an anti-Ukraine platform.
- Moscow seems intent on reciprocating Orban's anti-Ukraine stance, indicating open support for his campaign.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban's campaign in Hungary is openly leveraging hostility towards Ukraine, a stance that appears to be reciprocated and supported by Moscow. This suggests a transparent, rather than hidden, Russian influence in the upcoming Hungarian election.
